To clarify, because preserve scroll is not available when using auto-animate, at least it's not apparent as with transition for example, the transition 'jumps' in a jarring fashion. This seems to be more apparent when using the XD preview apps on mobile, e.g. Android.

The lack of preserved scroll kind of limits the use of the auto-animate feature to art boards of the same height, and therefore not useful for most realistic prototypes, especially for mobile apps.

Agreed! After auto-animate takes you to the new artboard, the scroll position should be reset so that you're scrolled to the top of the new page.

Yes we need this feature , every time we do this, scroll position is maintained , but we need scroll postion to be reset

Scenario:
1. Scrolling list view
2. Click on one of the list
3. List needs to have its profile photo maintain so auto-animate feature needs to be used
4. redirected to new screen but scroll position is maintained,, but I want scroll position to be reset.

I think the auto animate was build without scrolling positions in mind

art boards are the same. the same group in art board is up 200 pixels. auto animate is used as transition between boards.

Problem: In preview mode - if art board 1 is scrolled/modified then art board 2 will not auto animate to group set positions. instead it will auto animate to set position + scrolled/modified from art board 1.
